Abstract

Arsenic was widely distributed in nature, which led to multiple health problem through many approaches. On the basis of reading plenty of paper at home and abroad, this paper gives a summary on the distribution and the mechanism of immobilization of arsenic on the source of sediment arsenic in aquifer, the control of sedimentogenesis on the cause of high arsenic aquifer, the hydrogeochemical process of arsenic immobilization and the impact of the hydrogeological condition on the immobilization of arsenic. Usually, high arsenic groundwater appears in arid/semi-arid inland basin, floodplain and fluvial delta. There was a good affinity between arsenic and Fe/Mn oxides and sulfides, which was the major factor controlling the distribution of arsenic in groundwater. Hydrogeological condition has a significantly influence on the distribution of groundwater arsenic. This paper has a theoretical and realistic meaning both on the public health and reasonable exploitation and utilization of water resources.
